"Going to College." an illustrated,
general information booklet concerning the organization, requirements, living conditions, activities,
and general cultural activities at
the University, has Just come from
the press and is available to prospective students and others interested in the opportunities afforded
at the school.
This is the fourth edition of
"Going to College" and the cover
and layout for this latest edition
was designed by Raymond Barn-haof the Department of Art.
Detailed
information regarding
courses, and copies of the University catalogue, the University picture book, the current radio book
let as well as the new edition of
"Going to College" may be secured
by addressing the University of
Kentucky, Lexington.

"In the University of Kentucky,
the people of the state have an institution they may look on with
pride. Under Dr. Frank L. McVey,
it has become one of the leading
universities of the country."
That was the opinion expressed
by Dr. .Richard Henry Crossfield.

34 verses of
lines each. Here the poet revealed the amount of income from
these vorses. He sold six of them
to popular magazines for a total of
eighty-fou- r
dollars.
Sold Three Stories
Before leaving Europe he sold
three stories to one of the leading
weekly magazines for $500 each.
Mr. Stuart said he received $2,000
from the Guggenheim award and
it was from these sources that he
was able to make the trip.
Continuing
his discussion
of
countries he visited, the poet said.
"I very much dislike to hear the
Scottish people called stingy, because under the circumstances in
that country it is impossible for
them to be extravagant. There are
only five vegetables grown and one
of these is tomatoes, which have
to be grown in a hot house.
"Lady Astor," he said, "was a
splendid person and could keep up
with the best golfers of her age."
Especially interesting to him when
he visited her large mansion, with
its 400 hundred rooms, was the
modern dairy barn with modern
equipment and highbred cattle.

Field Expanded
In his recommendation for the
establishment of the department,
President McVey said that "the
field of social work has been materially expanded by the enactment
of legislation which provides for
old age pensions, the care of children .and the enlargement of state
functions in the field of delinquent

to Alderman James A. Sweeney for a copy:

"Today my daughter, who is seven years old,
started to school as usual. She wore a dark blue
dress with a white collar. She had on black
shoes and wore blue gloves. Her cocked spaniel,
whose name is 'Coot,' sat on the front porch
and whined his canine belief in the follv of edu

the hall of learning.
"Tonight we talked about school. She told
me about the gill who sits in front of her the
gill with yellow cutis and the boy across the
aisle who makes funnv faces. She told me about
her teacher, who has eyes in the back of her head
and about the tree in the school yard and
about the big girl who doesn't believe in Santa
Claus. W'e talked about a lot of things tremendously vital, unimportant things; and then
we studied spelling, reading, arithmetic and

"She's back there now back in the nursery,
sound asleep, with 'Princess Elizabeth (that's a
doll) cuddled in her right arm.
"You guys wouldn't hurt her, would you? You
see I'm her daddy. When her doll is broken or
her finger is cut, or her head gets bumped, I
can fix it but when she starts to school, when
she walks across the street, then she's in your
hands.
"She's a nice kid. She can run like a deer
and daits about like a chipmunk. She likes to
tide horses and swim and hike with me on Sunday afternoons. But I can't be with her all the
time I have to work to pay for her clothes and
her education. So please help me look out for
her. Please drive slowly past the schools and
intersections and please remember that children

in establishing a vocational school in Lexington.
Such a school is greatly needed. Vocational guidance while in its infancy already has demonstrated its worth and its greater possibilities.
Certainly no one can doubt that if Nature
has any design at all it must have a design for
every human life. Each person born must, if
normal, be fitted for a particular work.
Children may not have in every case striking
piedilections and extraordinary gifts, but they
have certain capacities and affinities, are better
fitted for woik of one kind than another, and
while in most cases they are not fully aware of
their particular talents these can be discovered
by the employment of the tests which psychology-ha-

nothing really important about an
electric razor. That is to say, nothing that
would impress the casual observer. But when
fellow has been selling electric razors for months
and has been going with one particular girl for
years and this gill knows that the boy is selling
electric razors, that he is making his living by
selling electric razors, and that he thinks electric
razors are a boon to mankind, then we fail to
understand why the girl would give the boy an
old fashion shaving set for a birthday present.
It simply doesn't follow.
Not that there is anything wrong with shav
ing sets. As a matter of fact, we are of the opin
ion that shaving sets are pretty good, as shaving
sets go, but you don't.use a shaving set when you
have an electric razor. You don't even want to
see a shaving set again after you have purchased
an electric razor. Shaving sets are absolutely
taboo in electric razor circles. It would be just
like giving Shirley Temple a pneumatic drill
to give anyone who uses an electric razor a shav
ing set. And what could Shirley Temple do with
a pneumatic drill? She might use it to clean
her teeth, but it would be awkward. She couldn't
do anything constructive with it.
CRACK OF THE WEEK:
All things come to him who otders hash.

Having found it utterly impossible to preserve
an air of insouciance when our date whips out
a compact and proceeds to retouch her face after
a
dinner, we have, at long last, discovered a method of curbing this indelicate
practice. The next time your date produces her
in a public place, don't cough, or
look into your coffee, and you needn't reprimand
her either. Simply take a razor, a shaving brush,
and a little soap out of your pocket, lather your
face thoroughly and shave. This method is the
quintessence of sublety and if she fails to realize
its significance, then you might as well give up.
